Troy Corser destroys the field on 89-year-old bike
Goodwood Road & Racing
Troy Corser (famous motorcycle maniac) on a 1936 BMW R5SS stormS from 7th to 2nd in the 2018 Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy. (The video title is wrong - in 2018 the bike would have been 82 years old)
I've been studying up on old motorcycles. It's like any technical subject, there is an endless supply of information and if you aren't careful it will suck you in and you will never be heard from again. However, I'm not finding much in the way of videos. Found lots of walk-arounds of old bikes and people starting old bikes, but not much in the way of stories, at least not ones that tickled my fancy, not until I got to this one. Reminds me of a Russian land speed record attempt.

The BMW is supercharged. Tne Nortons are not and have garden gate frames not featherbeds. Hardly a level playing field.
